It's 30 years since I caught the writing virus. I recovered after almost 10 years of obsessive writing. I would get up early and scribble a page before going to work. Later, I would stretch out upon the settee, my Amstrad keyboard attached to a block of wood, and tap the evening away with one eye on the television.During those few years I came across a few near-celebrities, actors and literati Not that I met too many of them. No, they preferred to communicate by letter, telephone and even telegram on one occasion.This short memoir describes the highs and lows of my experience. Ah, I could have been a contender. In the end, I succumbed to the multi-rejection and retired hurt.Now, I am offering my story for the benefit of those who aspire to be an author. Take my advice, fools, it's ten times harder nowadays. Stop trying!
